    Normal or Negligent? Gun in car.

    My center console is equipped with a center-of-mass lockbox (I won't call it a safe). I would not turn over a car to a valet or mechanic with an unsecured firearm.

    I haven't bought my last gun yet.

    Poly-Framed guns melting?

    What you said. The heat deflection temperature is about 350 degrees and the vicat softening point is 374. Gaston says don't worry because the melting temperature of the gun is much higher than the melting temperature of the person holding it. The vinyl on the dash would be rolling off onto...

    benchmade knives just how good?

    Four of my seven EDC's are Benchmade. I have an auto Pardue, auto Styrker, LH Styker and 707 that are in the rotation. The autos are my choice "on the farm". the LH Stryker for week-end EDC (jeans) and the 707 for office carry. They don't match up well to my large and small Sebenzas, but they...

    Anyone else have trouble getting on target with the HK LEM trigger?

    I really wanted to like the P2000US with LEM and buy a matching SK model but I never could warm up to it so I sold the gun. I shoot much better with any of my eight Glocks.

    Botach selling Benchmade made knife for half off

    Great deal if they ship it to you. My dealings with Botach lead me to pay more elsewhere for a bit of customer service reliability.

    B-Rate or C-Rate Safe

    Golf balls. A bucket of golf balls. Lay plywood cribbing along your path and keep placing golf balls at the front of it. Makes easy turns as well. You can't get enough big guys around a 1500 lb. safe to man-handle it. You have to worry not only about the structure where you are placing...

    Chicago working to prevent repeat of deadly weekend

    They solved the drug problem in Chicago by outlawing the small ziplock bags that crack is sold in. Maybe they could just ban the cardboard boxes that bullets come in. Seems a lot cheaper than operating a helicopter and equally effective.

    Kahr CW9 9mm vs. S&W Airweight J-frame .38

    If you can't stop a fight or retreat to cover with five rounds, you need more skill, not more bullets. The tactical advantages of the revolver, especially in a close quarters encounter, are numerous. The recognition of that explains the score. As Charles Barkley used to say: "I could be...

    Drawing on a knifewielder- Escalation?

    If you find yourself in a "fair fight" you haven't planned very well.

    Drawing on a knifewielder- Escalation?

    I think you only have to be in reasonable fear for your life. Gun Control means that a 115 lb. woman has the right to wrestle with a 210 lb. rapist. He could pick her up and throw her under a passing bus. Therefore, she could reasonably fear for her life if he continued a menacing...
